Although a few people do have two floppies, in the last five years I've 
seen only two (2) computers with such a configuration. Since "floppy" is 
already customary, and more newbie-friendly, and since one could trivially 
make a symlink from /mnt/fd0 to /mnt/floppy, IMHO I'd keep the standard 
configuration for the install.
